@laurchas22 I agree. The Bill Hybels "situation" was finally told by the Chicago Tribune and other papers after the survivors tried for years to work with the elders - to no avail.
@bozlawpa Fascinating how every single one of these organizations use the same self protecting and deceptive playbook. Without fail, they start by covering it up, threatening, hiding, pretending to help while clearly controlling the narrative. Let’s handle it ourselves, they say.👀
“IHOPKC has heard the demands to bring in a third party to investigate the organization in
general, but this step is premature until IHOPKC can establish the credibility of the allegations
and genuine intent of the Complaint Group.” 1/3
I can verify this being true from a survivor and friend. Glad it’s being brought into the public, otherwise, abuse just keeps on going in the church. Hypocrisy.
A victim of frmr @dentonbible pastor Rob Shiflet is spkg out about Pastor Tommy Nelson's retirement:
"Tommy’s announcement about his retirement is too little, too late. He should have been fired the Sunday he stood at the pulpit & lied that DBC never knew about the abuse" 1/2
Incredible journey behind him & ahead of him for @liammcneeley30. Anyone who knows @ashelsey & her baby know how hard both have worked to get to this moment. Let’s go Hoosiers!!!

As #GLS23 kicks off this morning on the 3rd day of Clergy Sex Abuse Awareness Month, it's a perfect moment to kick off a campaign letting GLN know we have not forgotten the Survivors of Bill Hybels nor its active attempts to discredit them.

@reachjulieroys@authenticmedia I don’t hear them claiming u can’t use the term, or cigar aficionado wouldn’t allow you to use the word cigar or aficionado. Here’s a reasonable breakdown of the issues. https://t.co/Z3SEWLCjfY Anybody more concerned about Xian assumptions/slander going on?

Pastors abusing and congregations staying quiet/ supporting pastors and attacking victims is my great grief & disbelief. It’s also evil and twisted, but most would rather call it a “blip” in morality rather than the perpetration and vile behavior that it is.
@SteveArterburn God help you @SteveArterburn As one abused by Bill Hybels, personally, by his church, by his system and his family system, shame on you for callous recall of this man’s godless pursuit if any kind of integrity, remorse, or repentance. @reachjulieroys fair.
